Expert garden renovation services in Brixton, SW2. Trusted by homeowners across London Borough of Lambeth.
Brixton gardens deserve the same creative streak that runs through the rest of the neighbourhood. We design and build gardens for owners here that have character, do their job and give you something to enjoy every day.
There is a lot of scope in the materials and planting we use. Bold paving patterns, coloured render on raised beds, reclaimed timber features and tropical or Mediterranean planting make a garden feel personal. If you want something calmer, clean lines, soft tones and structural evergreens give you a quiet, grown up outdoor room instead.
Plenty of Brixton houses have been converted, which often leaves the garden shared between flats or badly defined. We tidy that up, set clear boundaries, put in proper fencing or screening and treat each part as a complete garden in its own right, even when there is not much room to play with.
We also design gardens to sit alongside a new kitchen extension. Matching the paving to the floor inside, keeping the threshold flush and lining the planting up with the views from within, so with the back doors open the garden reads as part of the living space.
Brixton's gardens run from the generous rear plots of the houses on Brixton Hill to the tight shared spaces behind converted terraces near Coldharbour Lane. Each wants a different approach, but they all benefit from Brixton's fairly sheltered microclimate and the creative streak in the local community.
A good garden in Brixton gives you somewhere to eat outside, some privacy from the neighbours and a bit of nature, which counts for a lot in a densely built area. Our gardens deliver that with some flair and plenty of common sense.
“SOM did our Brixton garden with terracotta coloured render, Mediterranean planting and a lovely outdoor dining bit with festoon lights strung over it. It feels like a courtyard in Seville. The neighbours are all a bit jealous. We eat out there every evening in summer.”

You get a clear itemised quote covering materials, landscaping and build costs, with a set timeline.
Our team handles the lot, from groundwork and drainage through to the planting and the finishing touches.
Yes. We work to the ownership boundaries set out in your lease, put in screening and fencing and design a garden that feels private and finished. We deal with the freeholder or managing agent to make sure the work fits any lease restrictions.
Brixton's sheltered microclimate takes a surprising range. Tropical and Mediterranean plants like banana, tree ferns, olive and lavender do well alongside more traditional London garden planting. We put together a scheme that suits your taste and which way the garden faces.
We use a mix of tall evergreens, trellis with climbers, pleached trees and raised planters to screen the key spots. The aim is a garden that feels enclosed and private without going dark or boxed in.
